I've been at the port since March 22, no explanations whatsoever. Spoke with my CA yesterday who confirmed my car is still at port along with SIX other customers.

I had my car about to go into production in March and logged into my garage one morning and saw that the entire build had been changed, which pushed it back to week 26, with no explanation, except the dealership "accidentally" giving my allocation away and trying to get more money for the allocation. Your are not the only person that has dealt with terrible CAs and dealerships.

Another day at port (May 10 arrival, so I know I'm still a relative newbie here). Looks like a couple of ships (one K Line, one WW) will be departing Bremerhaven end of next week...

May 28th and the next is on June 9th. I've been at port since March 25, 2022. No rhyme or reason as to how cars are being loaded onto ships. Seems like chaos. Regardless, even if I make the next boat or one after that, I'm still not looking at it being at the dealership until around 4th of July or so..Getting tired of waiting.

I'm curious: Did anyone's car make it onto the Donington that left Bremerhaven on May 17?

It's been two days and I don't I've seen any reports of anyone getting on, so either the ship didn't pick up many BMWs, or they're just really slow to update the statuses?

Remember even though your car says at the port doesn't necessarily mean at the port where the ships are! Just like in my case 3/24 and car is in a parking lot in Krefeld for absolute no reason. They said no stop sale no nothing. Seems like a lot of us March people are in this situation and they rather ship out cars built after ours and keep us waiting there for god knows what…

I vouch for this. My buddy order an m4 several months after me and he's already driving it. It's Mind boggling lol

Wouldn't surprise me if it will need paint repair when it gets to the state.
So I finally got my VIN to track myself vs. trusting dealership updates. Turns out my M340 is one of the handful of Xdrives that actually comes out of Mexico, vs. Germany (BMW Portal doesn't give that detail). Ironically, it still has to be shipped to TX from Mexico by boat...no wonder sh!t's taking so long!

Anyhow, contrary to what I've seen on here, the Genius rep actually gave me an update that hadn't made it to the portal yet RE: car in transit. No warm and fuzzies yet, but I'm less fired up than I was yesterday.

I think I read that, with the LCI 3-series at least, they're planning to manufacture all the US-bound cars in Mexico.

Based on my case, once your car moves out of krefeld, it'll catch up the next boat
